    But when Tada Shun¡¯s statement was sent to Nanjing, the entire China Expeditionary Force headquarters was in an uproar.

    Does the Chinese army really have such a large-caliber cannon?

    And there are so many of them, how is this possible!

    After discussion, the debate on the Chinese army's use of large-caliber artillery in southwest Shandong was divided into two groups. One group believed that the Chinese army did have a large number of heavy artillery with a caliber of more than 100mm. The 17th Division was defeated by China in such a short period of time.  The annihilation of the army is irrefutable proof, a fact that no one can change.

    In addition, people from this group also pointed out that in the past two years of fighting, Li Guoyao's troops have repeatedly used mysterious weapons with huge lethality.

    Although people from Ttech later confirmed that it was not a real artillery piece, but a special gunpowder ejection device, its range and effect were very limited, and it did not attract the attention of the base camp at that time.

    ¡°But after all, two years have passed now. Maybe the Chinese military has made a major breakthrough in this aspect.  Thinking that it was just a simple device at the beginning, Li Guoyao's troops still stunned the Imperial Japanese Army. Now the opponent may not have real large-caliber artillery.

    What's more, the base camp has previously reported this kind of artillery launcher to the entire army. It should be easy to identify. After all, artillery launchers can only fire explosive packages, and explosive packages do not have shells. Only heavy artillery can actually launch them.  Cannonballs.

    Secondly, the range of artillery projectiles is only one or two hundred meters, but the range of heavy artillery is often several kilometers. There is no comparison between the two!

    As long as the officers on the front line are not pig-headed, they will definitely not admit their mistake!

    But the other group is just the opposite. They believe that the so-called large-caliber artillery is just a big lie made up by Hirabayashi Morito to evade responsibility.

    The reason for supporters of this view is that neither the southwest region controlled by the Nationalist Government nor the Saibei region controlled by the Red Party has the conditions to produce field heavy artillery or coastal defense artillery with a caliber above 100mm, not to mention that they can still move freely.  heavy artillery.

    First of all, China's current steel output is only about 1,000 tons, and it is all controlled by the National Government. The Shandong area controlled by Li Guoyao does not even have a small steel factory. How can it have so much steel.

    In addition, China's current industrial production capacity is still unable to produce such sophisticated weapons, especially artillery shells that require large machines to shape. Think of a cannon with a caliber of more than 100 mm. The barrel weighs at least several tons, not to mention the one designed by Li Guoyao.  Well, even the Empire of Japan has few companies that can produce such large-caliber artillery.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­

    But the cannonballs can¡¯t do that. It¡¯s a delicate job. If you¡¯re not careful, the thing will explode.

    In addition to these, supporters of this group also cited many reasons why China does not yet have the ability to produce heavy artillery. Therefore, they did not recognize the telegram sent by Tairabayashi Morito. Instead, they collectively believed that it was only Tairabayashi Morito and the North China Front Army.  A big lie created by the collective.

    In addition to some radical officers, those who support this view also include Lieutenant General Seishiro Itagaki, the current chief of staff of the China Expeditionary Forces.

    Since neither of the two factions could convince the other, General Nishio Hisao, the commander-in-chief of the Chinese Expeditionary Forces, was also unable to make a decision. After soliciting the opinions of some senior military officers, he decided to dispatch troops from central China and southern China while sending an investigation team to North China.  The Chinese Expeditionary Force and the General Headquarters of the Chinese Expeditionary Force each selected a group of young and middle-aged officers to form a field observation group, and then went to the North China battlefield for exchanges and learning.

    Of course, everyone knows the true purpose of this field observation group. The exchange and learning is just a cover, but the investigation of the true combat effectiveness of the entire North China Front Army and the anti-Japanese forces in the North China region is real.

    After receiving the telegram from General Nishio Juzo, Tada Shun smiled bitterly!

    General Nishio is really a difficult person. Wouldn¡¯t this put the entire North China Front on the fire?

    Now the front army has just suffered a major defeat, and the morale of the entire army is low. Especially the troops in southwestern Shandong have completely withdrawn from the Chinese army's defense area. At this time, all troops are shrinking their forces and waiting for replenishment, and there is no way to attack!

    Now that the field observation group of the China Dispatch Army arrives, it must win a beautiful victory, otherwise he, the commander of the North China Front, may be doomed.

    Single choice question!

    ?Although Shun Tada does not care about the position of commander, he likes himself as a politician more than as a general.  He had always been a decision-maker at the empire's center before, but he was kicked to China because of a disagreement with Tojo, the superior soldier.

    ¡°But Jun Tada is also a person who strives for excellence. He is extremely strict with himself. Either he doesn¡¯t do something or he does something, he must achieve a result. In this aspect, he has many similarities with Li Guoyao.

    Therefore, Shun Tada does not want to leave any regrets in North China, nor does he want to be driven away in despair like Juichi Terauchi or Moto Sugiyama. Even if he really wants to leave North China, he must be promoted with glory.

    Who is Shun Tada? He is a majestic Army Lieutenant General of the Empire of Japan, the founder of the Manchukuo National Defense Force, and the person with the strongest strategic vision in the entire empire. How could he leave a stain on his military career?

    Although this field observation group of the China Expeditionary Force Headquarters has put a lot of pressure on himself and the entire North China Front Army, in Tada Shun's view, this is not an opportunity.

    For the officers and soldiers of the entire North China Front Army, it is such a great shame to be questioned by the superior authorities. This shame is even more unacceptable than losing the battle.

    Knowing shame and then being brave, I believe that with the existence of this field observation group, even if he, the commander, does not say anything, as long as the news is revealed, the frontline troops will explode with 200% combat effectiveness.

    What's more, all the reinforcements promised to them by the base camp have been arrived, and the expansion of the Imperial Alliance Army in various places is nearing completion. The entire front army can be said to be strong and strong, and it is time to show its true strength.

    But Tada Shun didn¡¯t dare to be careless. After all, the annihilation of the 17th Division this time also sounded the alarm for him!

    It was a complete infantry division with more than 15,000 people. It was also equipped with a regiment of artillery. There were three troops around it: the 32nd Division, the 21st Division and the 10th Division. But in the end,  He was annihilated inexplicably.

    It can be seen that their opponents are not ordinary people. If they want to fight this battle beautifully, they still have to plan carefully.

    What's more, the morale of the entire front army is low now, and the officers are also panic-stricken. They must agree with their thoughts.

    Soon, under the order of Tada Shun, a large-scale military meeting was held in Peiping, and the purpose of this meeting was how to welcome the two regiments of the China Dispatch Army Headquarters.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
